Smash several orthodontic rumors teeth are not perfect, want to do orthodontic, but orthodontic will have this kind of concern, about all kinds of rumors, credible credible?
The tooth is fixed in the alveolar bone by the periodontal membrane. Orthodontic treatment moves the tooth, requires the reconstruction of the alveolar bone and periodontal membrane, and the tooth will become loose, which is a normal reaction.
When the orthodontic stop moving to the normal position, the teeth can reattach the periodontal membrane and become stable through their own repair ability, without permanent damage.
Rumor 2: Orthodontic causes tooth loss in the elderly Some patients will worry about the early tooth loss after orthodontic, but studies have confirmed that tooth loss in the elderly is caused by periodontitis, and orthodontic has no direct relationship.
Myth 3: Orthodontic causes root resorption During orthodontic treatment, resorption and proliferation of tooth root surface also occur.
After treatment, the root will return to normal with its own restorative ability.
General orthodontic process, appropriate force, root resorption hyperplasia will maintain a balanced state, will not cause root resorption.
Rumor four: orthodontic effect on the height of the alveolar bone orthodontic treatment, the height of the alveolar bone will have a small amount of reduction, this is because the wearing of appliances to make oral hygiene is not easy to maintain, increase the probability of gingivitis, on the alveolar bone will have a certain impact.
(PS: The invisible appliance without bracket can be removed and worn freely, so it is easier to maintain oral hygiene).
However, after the completion of orthodontic treatment, the alveolar bone will not change, oral hygiene is easier to maintain, and the alveolar bone will gradually return to normal.
The chalky change in the position of the teeth around the brackets or the gingival edge in orthodontic treatment is due to the patient’s failure to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment. The bacteria in the soft scale of the tooth surface produce acid, resulting in the change of tooth color and substance.
Myth 6: The effect of orthodontics on pulp In the initial stage of treatment, the pulp produces a mild, temporary inflammatory reaction, which is manifested by pain or discomfort in the first few days of exertion, and generally will be relieved after a few days
